Hello

Abjustable headset or headset cups would be nice: 66 and 67 degrees. With straight 1.5 there is room, I think. Some kind of flipchip would be another option. I have SP-M05, which has worked fine so far.

I expect a lot of people would want something like this as a down-country/short travel trail bike because of the TT and reach numbers.  Which means most would like to see the seat tube lengths shrink by about 30mm for every size in your geo chart for fitting longer dropper posts and lower standover.   You might run out of room for a second bottle cage, but you can move it under the downtube.

So you want a short travel trail bike not a lightweight xc race bike?

I honestly don't want either.  The fact is this bike frame has 120mm of travel which already pushes it out of the "XC race" category.  spcycle can cater to a far larger market if they had one frame that would satisfy both the XC and light trail duty requirements.  All I am suggesting is shrinking the seat tube can make the design far more flexible and capable.

I agree with you, the seat tube should be about 30mm shorter (or even shorter, ideally).

If possible:
-Cable routing NOT through headset.

I think it would benefit spcycle greatly if they took a look at how the market is trending before committing to creating their tooling.  It seems to me that this frame isn't what a lot of people want.  There's always going to be somebody who will buy this, but if I saw this on a catalog page I'd take a pass on it.

This is an Orbea Oiz 2023 clone. I know a lot of people who would like to have one. Check GMBN yt videos, they are raving about it.
I will try to sell one (or more) of my bikes to get one of this. For me, the geo its almost perfect for XCM and XCO.

What's not right? It looks pretty good to me.

Cables through the headset: yes, it's a bit of a pain when you're building it, but worth it for the clean lines
People are talking about the seat tube length: it's shorter than a Genius, Epic Evo and Anthem Advanced. 10mm longer than a Top Fuel
Chainstays are shorter than all of the above. That's a good thing in my mind
Wheelbase is in the shorter end of modern 'normal'. So it won't feel like too much of a tank
BB drop is the same as a Spark

It's "right" if your point of reference is this Orbea bike that was mentioned and a bunch of other random bike models. The problem is the seat tube is really too long for this length of reach and ETT.  Maybe Orbea had a reason to do this, but spcycle could clearly have thought it through better and shrunk the seat tubes down for at least the small and medium sizes where standover for 29" frames is nearly always an issue for shorter riders.

If spcycle's only goal was just to clone what was already on the market, then that's their choice.   But I would hope to think they are more creative than that.

Biggest issue I have with it is the headset cable routing. I won't build a bike with that garbage.
Head angle could be a degree more slack, but since it has headset routing I am out either way.

I am in the same boat with the headset cable routing.  i just built a LC 918 and 914 and both have the cables in the headset.  i am seriously going to look at just drilling a hole in the frame for the cables.  headset cable routing is literally the dumbest thing the bike industry has come up with and they have had some duesys.  as soon as i see that from now on it is a hard stop.

If the buyer needs external cable routing, we can drill holes in the frame.

Could you also make offset headset bearings to get 66 degrees head angle with 120mm fork?

I was not crazy about headset routing.  I now have a 2023 Spark with it. It's not actually that bad in practice. More work than standard, sure, but really not that bad. Adding a dropper post took me 30 minute.  I took the whole headset system apart to adjust the headset angle (which is possible on the spark frame I rotating the bearing cups 180°) and I had the thing back together in under an hour.  I think a bunch of people love to make a big deal out of things. 

I have a 9 year old hardtail with probably 12,000 miles on it. I've replaced the shifter housing exactly once, the brake lines never, and the headset bearings never.  So I don't really see needing to be in and out of this headset all that often. And with the cables tucked, the bike looks super clean.

So I won't disparage people for not liking internal routing, but I also think it's not as bad as everybody made it out to be.

I think the big thing is what does cables through the headset gain you?   The answer is nothing of value  and only more headache.  There are a fair amount of negatives and the only positive is it is "cleaner". Except all those cables still loop out to your levers and shifters and remotes anyway.  Now the just coalesce at the stem instead of 4" lower in the frame.

One story is a trendy-brandy bikes with clean look and absolutely another when you have the same features in chinabike. For instance: sharp edges which will cut little by little you hydroline inside your fancy headset. Btw, any insulation from the mud and water flying around in nasty weather?

If they would hurry up and design wireless brakes, shocks, and droppers, then we wouldn't have any need for those unsightly cables wherever they have to be routed!   8)

Perhaps.  I just really don't see it as that much extra headache for me.  It was a marginally longer process to take things apart. And I do that basically never (possibly because my use case is hot/dry Arizona where maintenance just isn't needed on items in that area). 

What negatives have you identified with your headset routing?

I value the marginally cleaner cockpit I suppose.  And as cockpit controls start to be designed with this in mind (see the new SRAM brakes where the brake line exits the lever basically on the bar) tucking cables out of the was will be even easier.  Couple that with AXS shifting and droppers and soon wireless lockouts, and a single brake cable is all there will be to think about.

For what it's worth, when I disassembled everything, I removed the brake lines from the levers and shortened them.  I didn't even need to do a full rebleed of the brakes. Simply do the simple shimano lever/cup  dirty bleed and everything was perfect. 

I guess I'm curious as to what everyone is doing with their bikes that they need to be changing out that upper bearing so frequently. Because that upper bearing is really the only thing that is even marginally more difficult to change out than routing cables through the sides of the frame.

Headset routing is a marketing play to make maintenance of traditional cable pull systems so annoying people just break down and throw away money on wireless systems lol. Headset routing sucks, especially on mountain bikes.

Post by: Vipassana on May 06, 2023, 11:32:58 PM
How is it more annoying? It's the same thing.  Pull the cable, fish a new one.  Or if a housing is needed, pull the old housing an fish a new one. It's no different than other internal routing systems.  I have it on my 2023 Scott and I ran a dropper post housing/cable without disassembly of the headset. Same as internal routing through the frame.  What are people talking about??

How many people here are simply regurgitating what the read on the internet vs actually working with one of these systems first-hand?

One of the most legitimate complaints I've heard is that having the opening on top of the upper bearing may lead to more dirt/water intrusion into the upper bearing. I'll buy into that.

Assembling Carbonda 909 with headset routing and it works far better then classic internal or even external due to less force required to turn and no more cables banging around near handlebar. It requires only bit more work due to tighter cable length tolerance. I should have tried to order frame without headtube holes.

The vb-099 I have is headset routed with internal handlebar/stem routing. Looks cool, no cables hanging out anywhere on the front end. Huge pain to work on using a full mechanical groupset, but at least there's no cables.

Headset routing on a mtb still has cables in front. The cables just go into the headset a few inches up instead of into the frame. Which makes maintenance more annoying. You can't replace your headset bearing without also buying a new olive for your rear brake. Plus disconnecting everything else. Really not that common of a service, but it's still more work for marginal to no gains. Things break on mountain bikes fairly frequently and personally I'd rather not have to deal with more annoying things when fixing stuff. Headset routing for mtbs just doesn't have any positives imo.

That said it'll still probably become more popular like internally routed cables simply because it's cheaper for manufactures.

Guerilla gravity and Deviate have cool solutions for cable routing that make life easier.

Thank you for your suggestion.
For SP-M861 frame. We will manufacture two versions.
Version 1, all internal cables, cables passing through the headset.
Version 2, half internal cable, cable does not pass through the headset.

I really hope there are no similar issues with this frame. I am looking for a 120mm travel XC bike.

I'm glad to hear that they took care of your problem. I haven't an answer yet. My frame squeaks terribly at the bottom bracket and there are cracks around it.

Dear All:

Anyone looking for the Super light 29er full suspension carbon frame?

Our new mold SP-M861 being done, the sample would be available May.

SP-M861 is a 120mm XC race machine that looks as good as it rides. Modern geometry and clever suspension. Size M L XL can install 2 bottle cages

I'm glad to hear that they took care of your problem. I haven't an answer yet. My frame squeaks terribly at the bottom bracket and there are cracks around it.

If I were you I would shoot them a message on Aliexpress.

daifanshi why do you say a 120mm bike is out of XC race category?  Nino Schurter top MTB XC racer and most of the pro's are riding 115-120 mm bikes in XC.  Its the perfect amount of travel and geometry for todays ultra techy XC courses.

I personally paid slightly more for a different SP Cycle frame, and bought direct from the sp-cycle internet store. It was worth 3% or so different to deal 100% directly with the manufacturer.

I pre-ordered L. Was originally supposed to be ready July. Repeated delays followed by an 'expected' Sept manufacture date, which was missed so I'd be cautious about the October date too. Like I said, I would recommend ensuring they have stock before ordering.

In the end, I got frustrated with the repeated delays so cancelled. There are plenty of other options at the moment! (the 'usual suspects' plus Workswell, Miracle, Winowsports, Yishun, and even the new Lexon Flyer).

That’s true but at some point you need to select amongst the most affordable and reliable in post sales so Carbonda, light carbon and spcycle remains the only viable options for me

After four months of moderate riding, the bottom bracket started to squeak. I examined it, there were cracks around it.
SP's initial response was that I need to send the frame back for inspection and repair at my expense.
Then they were more cooperative, I sent a video and some pictures and they were willing to send me a replacement frame if I paid the shipping costs. I did it and am still waiting for the frame. I email them every two weeks, sometimes they respond with apologies and explanations as to why they still haven't sent me the frame.
A week ago I got a tracking number, but it can't be tracked. We'll see

Good morning. I ordered this frame in size M directly from the site. After an initial exchange of emails regarding address, size and more, I would now be waiting for a shipping tracking code which is taking a bit.... we'll see and hope for the best... Do you think it will be possible to open the steering angle by one degree with this frame? What headset do you recommend? Thank you

So, after half a year of waiting, I got the replacement frame. Weighs 1120 grams with seat post clamp, axle and derailleur hanger, which is 200 grams heavier than spesified. I am happy to get a frame, but kind of disappointed because of the weight.

On my recent FS build, I though I really wanted fork and shock lockouts.   The latest generation FOX factory float shock and fork don't offer lockout options.  I was worried.  Then after riding the bike, I discovered that this generation of high end forks and shocks have almost no bob or motion while climbing or riding on asphalt.   I was very impressed, and changed my perspective on lockouts.

Currently, M861 has sold more than 300pcs. This is the first breaking case. If I guessed correctly, this should be a broken rocker arm causing damage to the rear triangle. We take this issue very seriously. For safety and durability reasons. We are manufacturing aluminum alloy rocker arm for M861.

For now I thank you. However, in November the frame arrived with a dropout with M1.5 thread and axle with M1 thread and I never received the correct components even though they were promised to me. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the spare parts but I'm still very saddened. On Thursday and Sunday I will not be able to participate in amateur competitions for which I have paid to register. I found myself with my ass on the ground and to get home I had to walk and push the bike lifting it for 17km.... If I think that I could have replaced the balance wheel with the new aluminum model and not have had any problems I get even more angry! For clarity, I must say that the frame has never had any accidents or falls. The pin broke while pedaling uphill. It is also true that the frame has traveled on many downhill mountain paths.

It would be great that you fulfill your warranty obligations to the SP-M048 frame you sold me with wrong color, wrong cable guiding into frame and  the critical defect of a defective bottom bracket thread. T47 is not something you can repair anywhere but in the factory. Then you force me to try to install the bottom bracket and after it was not possible you went silence.
